Effective October 2012, doctors at hospitals across the land are being forced by the Obama administration to break their Hippocratic Oath. I understand the point but I think the expression is overwrought and misplaced. If a patient needs to be admitted, it's the doctor's duty to admit the patient. Period. There may be consequences for doing so but Medicare is not prohibiting admittance. Yes, it's a technical differentiation but it's an important one. When the government prohibits treatment, then you can legitimately claim "death panel," not before.
